The Mormon Tabernacle Choir journeys to Virginia for back-to-back concerts in Norfolk and Vienna. Direct from Monday’s program in Norfolk that closes the Virginia Arts Festival, the orchestra and 360 singers arrive at Wolf Trap’s Filene Center on Wednesday to perform their characteristic uplifting numbers that emphasize faith and family traditions in a variety of musical styles. The all-volunteer organization formed in 1847 to share a love of music, and cut its first recording in 1910. A century later, the Grammy Award-winning choir has released more than 150 albums, tours throughout North America on a biennial basis and performs extensively on radio and television worldwide. Its latest album, “Men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir,” hit No. 1 on Billboard.

Mack Wilberg, the music director since 2008 and a former professor of music at Brigham Young University, revels in his role. His compositions and arrangements have been performed by great artists worldwide, as well as by the MTC. Along with selecting, training and conducting the choir and orchestra members, he chooses the repertoire, plans tours and recordings and is responsible for the weekly broadcast from Temple Square by the Orchestra, Chorale and Bells.
